Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 23 23. The union of good and truth in others is provided for by the Lord by means of the equilibrium between heaven and hell; for there is a constant emanation from hell of evil and falsity together; but from heaven there is a constant emanation of good and truth together. In this equilibrium every man is kept as long as he lives in the world, and is thereby kept in that liberty of thinking, willing,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=23 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 31 31. Hence it may be evident that the Lord is heaven not only in general with all there, but also in particular with every individual there. For every angel is a heaven in its least form, and from these heavens, which are as many as there are angels, heaven in general is constituted. That this is the case may be seen in the work HEAVEN AND HELL (n. 51-58). This being so, let no one cherish the erro... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=31 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 50 50. Since angels and spirits are affections of love and thoughts thence derived, they are consequently not in space and time, but only in the appearance of them. To them there is an appearance of space and time according to the states of their affections and of the thoughts arising from these. When anyone therefore thinks of another from affection, intently desiring to see him or to speak with him... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=50 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 55 55. III. THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN EVERYTHING IT DOES REGARDS WHAT IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL FROM ITSELF, ESPECIALLY IN SAVING THE HUMAN RACE. The Infinite and Eternal in itself is the Divine itself or the Lord in Himself; but the Infinite and Eternal from itself is the Divine Proceeding, that is, the Lord in others created from Himself thus in men and in angels; and this Divine is the same as the Di... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=55 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 64 64. V. THE INMOST OF THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE IS TO REGARD WHAT IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL IN FORMING THE ANGELIC HEAVEN, IN ORDER THAT IT MAY BE BEFORE THE LORD AS ONE MAN, THE IMAGE OF HIMSELF. It may be seen in the work HEAVEN AND HELL (n. 59-86) that the universal heaven is as one man before the Lord, and likewise every society in heaven; and that consequently every angel is a man in perfect form, a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=64 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 114 114. IV. EVILS IN THE EXTERNAL, MAN CANNOT BE REMOVED BY THE LORD EXCEPT THROUGH MAN'S INSTRUMENTALITY. In all Christian Churches this tenet of doctrine has been accepted, that before a man approaches the Holy Communion he shall examine himself, see and acknowledge his sins, and do the work of repentance by desisting from them and rejecting them because they are from the devil; and that otherwise... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=114 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 121 121. Many believe that man is purified from evils by merely believing what the Church teaches; some, that man is purified by doing good; others, that it is by knowing, speaking and teaching such things as pertain to the Church; others, by reading the Word and books of piety; others, by attending churches, listening to sermons, and especially by approaching the Holy Supper; others, by renouncing th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=121 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 132 132. That this is the nature of miracles may be clearly evident from those wrought before the people of Judah and Israel. Although these had seen so many miracles in the land of Egypt, and afterwards at the Red Sea, and others in the desert, and especially on Mount Sinai when the Law was promulgated, yet after the space of a month when Moses tarried upon that mountain, they made for themselves a g... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=132 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 148 148. Moreover, every man wishes to be free, and to remove not freedom but slavery from himself. Every boy who is under a master wishes to be his own master, and so to be free. It is the same with every man-servant under his master and with every maid under her mistress. Every maiden wishes to leave her father's house and to marry, in order that she may act freely in a home of her own; and every yo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=148 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 157 157. That man lives from the Lord alone, and not of himself is established by the following reasons: There is one sole essence, one sole substance, and one sole form, from which are all the essences, substances and forms that have been created. This one sole essence, substance and form, is the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom, from which are all things relating to love and wisdom in man. It is al... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=157 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 163 163. How the Lord from the angelic heaven leads and teaches every man will be stated in a few words. In the treatise THE DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM, and above in this treatise THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE, and also in the work HEAVEN AND HELL published in London in the year 1758, it has been made known from things seen and heard that the universal angelic heaven appears before the Lord as one man, and likewi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=163 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 166 166. Man, however, is taught by enlightenment, because being taught and enlightened are predicated of the understanding; for the understanding, which is man's internal sight, is enlightened by spiritual light just as the eye or man's external sight is enlightened by natural light. Moreover, both are similarly taught; but the internal sight, which is that of the understanding, is taught by spiritua... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=166 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 180 180. II. IF A MAN SAW CLEARLY THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE HE WOULD INTERPOSE IN THE ORDER AND TENOR OF ITS COURSE, AND WOULD PERVERT AND DESTROY THAT ORDER. In order that this may come within the clear perception of the rational man and also of the natural man it may be illustrated by examples and in this order: 1. There is such a connection between external and internal things that they make... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=180 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 184 184. The same course is followed with other evils in which man is from heredity, such as adulteries, frauds, revenge, blasphemy, and others of a like nature; and none of these could be removed unless the liberty to think and will them were left to man and he from this liberty removed them as of himself. Yet this he cannot do unless he acknowledges the Divine Providence and implores that the work m... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=184 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 193 193. I. ALL MAN'S THOUGHTS ARE FROM THE AFFECTIONS OF HIS LIFE'S LOVE AND THERE ARE NO THOUGHTS WHATEVER, NOR CAN THERE BE, EXCEPT FROM THEM. It has been shown above in this treatise, and also in the work entitled ANGELIC WISDOM CONCERNING THE DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM, particularly in the First and Fifth Parts, what in their essence are the life's love and the affections and thoughts thence derived,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=193 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 202 202. The Divine Providence of the Lord is universal from the most individual things because He created the universe in order that there might exist in it an infinite and eternal creation from Himself; and this creation exists that the Lord might form from men a heaven which should appear before Him as one man who should be the image and likeness of Himself. It was shown above (n. 27-45), that heav... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=202 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 203 203. Since, therefore, every man after death lives for ever, and according to his life here has a place assigned to him either in heaven or in hell, and since both heaven and hell must exist in such a form as will act as one, as was said before; and since no one can be assigned in that form any place but his own, it follows that the human race throughout the whole world is under the guidance of th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=203 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 204 204. V. HEAVEN AND HELL ARE IN SUCH A FORM. It was made known that heaven is in the human form in the work HEAVEN AND HELL, published in London in 1758 (n. 59-102) also in the treatise THE DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM; and also in several parts of this treatise. I therefore refrain from giving further proof. It is stated that hell also is in the human form; but it is in a monstrous human form, like that... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=204 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 227 227. These are the causes which give rise to such an enormity; but as they are in obscurity because of ignorance respecting them they must be so explained as to make them clear to the understanding. First: Whatever a man thinks, speaks and does from his will, whether good or evil, is appropriated to him, and remains. This was shown above (n. 78-81). For man has an external or natural me... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=227 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 256 256. 3. The merely natural man confirms himself against the Divine Providence when he sees that the Christian religion is accepted only in a smaller part of the habitable globe, called Europe, and is in a state of division there. The Christian religion is accepted only in a smaller part of the habitable globe called Europe because it was not adapted to the genius of Orientals, like the Mohammedan... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=256
